The Psych Central Showis an award-winning, weekly podcast that approaches psychology and mental health in a casual and accessible fashion. Listen as our hosts speak candidly with experts to break down complex topics in simple and understandable ways.

It’s an unfortunate truth that many people are unsatisfied with
their relationships with their doctors. They often feel that their
own concerns aren’t given any credit, that doctors don’t really
listen to them, and that they are helpless to do anything about it.
The concept of participatory medicine, however, throws all that out
the window. In this show, a doctor and a patient describe how the
field of medicine can – and should – change by including the
patient in everything. They discuss how technology can play a
bigger part in improving the patient experience than it currently
is. They also touch on dealing with patients who are misinformed
and how medical records aren’t as accurate as we think they
are.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

[0:38] The value of online communities and the
stagnant medical approach to healthcare.
